Ingredients
Method
Make the Dressing
- In a jar, combine Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, fine salt, and black pepper. Shake until glossy and unified. Taste and adjust as needed.
Prep the Nuts
- Toast pecans or walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring until fragrant. Let them cool.
Prep the Produce
- Wash and dry the greens. Thinly slice the apples and pear. Remove pomegranate arils. Slice the onion paper-thin.
- Soak the onion in ice water for 5 minutes and pat dry if you want a milder taste.
Assemble the Salad
- In a large serving bowl, add the greens. Scatter the apples, pear, pomegranate arils, onion, dried cranberries, and cheese over the top.
- Sprinkle with toasted nuts.
Dress and Toss
- Drizzle about half the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Add more dressing as needed to achieve a light coating.
- Taste and add a pinch of salt or a squeeze of lemon if needed.
Notes
You can mix the dressing up to 3 days ahead and store components separately for easy assembly. The salad pairs well with roasts and festive dishes.
